by the Russian constituencies was
published here yesterday: They repu.-
date any connection with the recent

manifesto ennumerates the sins of the
present regime, especially emphasiZ-
ing that of humbling itself before

the car retaining the right to decide
with the majority or minority as he
pleases; that the press be granted free
dom of speech, and that political pris-
oners be amnestied.

THE IRISH CRIMINAL BILL.
Mr.. William II. Smith, the Govern
ment leader, arose amid cheers and
counter cheers in the House of Com
mons this evening, and moved that the
bill for the amendment of the criminal
law in Ireland have precedence over all
others of the day. He said Ireland
was in a state of disorganiZation, and
that the Government was bound to act
under a sense of public duty, particu-
country inundated, and notorious
criminals, whose deeds were inimical
to the existence of society, getting
scott free. Mr.. Smith said he would
refrain from stating the details of the
measure. leaving that to the Chief
Secretary of Ireland. What he now
urged was that the measure was absO-
lutely necessary for the security and
happiness of the law-abiding popu-
latiOn of Ireland. Regarding their
ameliorative policy towards Ireland the
ment Land Bill would be
divided into two parts. One of these
would be introduced Immediately; the
other wonld be land purchase dill of
wide scope. Both measures would be
found to be framed on the principles of
honesty and justice. TheS peaker,
however, thought the Government could
not hope that any measure framed
on these lines would satisfy the Irish
National League. which,. he
pervading Ireland. Mr.. Smith hoped
the House would speedily adopt the
Governments measures. If the House
did not adopt them, the Government
would be compelled to ask the opinion
of the country to either confirm their
policy or relieve it of the responsible
ties of the Government. (Cheers.) Mr..
John Morley, in moving the rejection
of the motion for urgency, denied abso-
lntely Mr.. Smiths assertions as to
the lawless condition of Ire
land, and demanded that the Govern
ment give comparative statistics OF
crime in Ireland, which he said would
show that beyond a certain very mar
row area the country has seldom been
quiet. The Governments proposed re-
strictive legislation would only aggTa
vate such evils as existed and
would weaken and spoil whatever
remedies they had in store. The
